I returned from surgery at St Joe Hospital  yesterday. Anesthesia always makes me feel nauseous, so I expected that,  but even with them giving me benedryl,  I felt that way the whole night, into the next morning.   The area they did surgery on hurts a great deal this morning, but the doctor gave me some pain meds for that, so I am feeling ok now.  I couldn’t sleep a wink lastnight because of that nauseous feeling, but I know it will pass in time.

My birthday is coming up.  For the first time in my life, I have no idea what to ask for?   I kinda want a slate and stylus so I can start learning how to write in braille,  but with a slate, you have to write backwards, which I don’t think I am ready for yet. I have a hard enough time reading braille forwards. lol

All Slates you have to write backwards.  Most people start out writing using a Braille Writer bur those perkins braillers are $700,  which I don’t have that kind of money, and since VR won’t cover the cost, I’ll just have to put off writing for now.

I finally decided to ditch my verizon phone, and switch to vonage.  ITs $24 but with taxes its something like $31, which is fine. I found out today I was paying  $54 with verizon FIOS.   I signed up for their triple freedom plan back in November, which was supposed to be $99,  but they decided to discontinue that deal, so my bills suddenly skyrocketed to $178.  I was like “what the hell?” but what had happened is, when verizon decided to stop their triple freedom for $99 deal, they started charging me for the 3 services separately, instead of the bundle price,  so that made me mad, because I was supposed to be paying $99 until November 2009,  so I had to sign up for their new $109.98 triple deal instead, which was fine $109 is still cheap for phone + internet + TV,  but they told me I can’t go with vonage or I’ll be breaking my bundle pricing, but still, $49 for internet plus $44 for TV, is still way cheaper then $109 for all 3 or $178 so I may just keep it like that.   or just switch to a double deal since they broke my 1 yr contract as it was.   I hope they don’t charge me for breaking that contract, or I’m going to throw a major fit.  Verizon FIOS is really getting on my last nerve with their pricing schemes.   Its like, they can break their own contract and its fine, but if I break mine, then I get in trouble,  thats not fair.
